Hi there,
Though I'm just in my 2nd year of MBA (HR), I'll try to share a few things that I hope will be useful for you. Core HR is a specialization in every aspect of HR, i.e., recruitment, training and development, succession planning, performance management, compensation management, industrial relations, trade union management... studying all the HR topics in detail.
In a small IT company, HR work is mainly limited to recruitment. If you want to make a career in HR, though IT companies will offer you high salaries, if you want to gain knowledge, start with some manufacturing industries.
Cheers,

Today, there is no such term as core HR, as jobs in HR have become highly specialized. Businesses today are focusing on developing their HR as it is now a driving factor in the growth of any organization. Reliance Retail has more HR employees than the number of employees because effective HR can lead to effective employees. Each function in HR is handled by a specialized person if the company aims to grow.
Since you mentioned being the sole person in HR, increasing the number of HR professionals is a business strategy. Today, HR strategies are aligned with business strategies, and HR has evolved into a business partner rather than just a support function. The demand for HR in organizations has significantly increased.
If you have any more queries, please feel free to write in.

I am in the midst of a summer internship project related to HR and am receiving a stipend of 10,000 per month. I am curious about what my salary expectations should be at the time of final placements and whether this internship will have an impact on that. I am looking forward to your insights.

Hi Anjali,
Actually, I was also considering HR + IT, but I just opted out of it. Now, I'm focusing on core HR. When I spoke to my faculty, they mentioned that it is, without a doubt, a nice combination, thanks to the growing IT sector. One drawback is that, as mentioned in earlier posts, for a fresher, IT companies don't provide much scope; mostly limited to recruitments. Anyway, you can pursue your degree. After working for 2-3 years in the manufacturing sector, you can always shift to IT. Let me tell you, a combination of IT will get you high salaries from the beginning, but through manufacturing industries, you'll start with comparatively lower salaries.
Finally, pursue whatever you want because the scope is always there if your heart is in it.

That is a very good combination as HR is getting influenced by technology. You can see for yourself payroll software, SAP, ERP, Recruitment Software... Now HR has a techno-functional role. HR is now trying to keep up with the business objectives at all times so all its functions are aligned to business goals. For a long-term career, it is a worthwhile combination.
